Stop content locking new hair styles, assholes.

Please let this new hairstyle be easy to obtain. I will cry if the way to get it is a one in a million loot drop in the new part of Eureka.

First impressions on Pyros

They fixed their mistake on not having rewards on bunny dates, so bunny fates are a viable source of mini exp farming. Good. (Though the little shits are still hellbent on getting us killed.) 9/10

The teleport levels are 37, 39 and 41. Good. 100/10

Fate EXP starts at 2.4M at the 35 fate and goes up from there for every fate. It is an insane improvement compared to the start of Pagos. 10/10

The preliminary datamined map was scary but those choke points are actually ice bridges or relatively empty as fuck tunnels with enemies that either only blood agro or will be turned away when you pass by. Though you might get unlucky here and there. 8/10

Logograms make solo cake. It still takes some strategy based on class, but you wont get yanked so easily. Wisdom of the Platebearer ftw. However, active logograms disappear forever even if not used up once you exit the instance. Meaning you can lose good logograms like Death and Wisdom of the Remembered if you leave or time out. 6/10 Can be worked on.

Logograms are easy to farm in large quantities as a 100% drop from elementals of your level or above. More info needed though. Different elementals seem to drop different types. Rarer logograms come from fates at a lower % chance and from bunny boxes. 6/10

Relic progression is tied into the logogram skills you discover and you need 150 pyros crystals for the first step. It's not that bad just kill NMs instead of chaining and you will get that 150 fairly quick. Though my concern is the logograms and if drop types are linked to level which they probably are. Eh/10

I got to level 41 yesterday which is better than the day 1 stagnate progression I saw in both anemos and pagos. There are still things to improve on, but some of the bitching really is unwarranted and probably owed to the fact that the people bitching couldn't stick it out through pagos and now can't progress lol. Though the fact that that's a thing makes me give eureka a solid 6/10 for effort but inaccessibility. This score is more over the bigger picture and less my opinion.

I personally love the content. I'm glad it's so bad it makes people give up because a relic should only be done and completed by people who are dedicated. Not handed out like candy at a children's party. On top of that, ffxiv's relic should've been tied into its raid system and not casual content as it would've increased incentive to complete relics in the past for power and incentive to complete raids. The fact that its reduced to a glamour piece to make the elite feel special for a patch and a half is kinda....meh. but that's just my opinion on the whole thing.

Point is I think Pyros does it better and I cant wait to get deeper into it.

I had a surprise visitor during today's video!

Also remember back when we first saw the structures with the beams of light coming from them, there was so much speculation about having to fill up what looked like their progress bar to get into the BA, then it comes out and it's just the story content haha.

Funny to look back on.

While they may be a bit similar to the aetherial weapons I really would love to see the weapon previewed here to be a hint to the Eurekan weapons final forms.
